Summary:
To investigate the correlation between the vertical magnetic and magnetic susceptibility of two geological provinces of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa on the island of Hawaii, the author selected two fields, one on Mauna Kea and the other on Mauna Loa and took magnetometer readings. There seems to be a close connection with lava density and the magnetic susceptibility and susceptibilities are found more often in the aa rock types. The magnetite content is probably more concentrated in the aa basalts and andesites. Mauna Kea consists of andesine andesites and oligoclase andesites with some basalts, while Mauna Loa is entirely basaltic.
